Where Do Telcos Go From Here: IoT WebRTC SIP DID NFV

September 25, 2015

I started my research today watching videos and reading blogs about the biggest worries of telecoms and thinking back on 1000s of conversations with these companies online and at conferences. Somehow I landed on IBM's BlueMix IoT demo you can try with your cell phone and another device. Nice. Gotta love IBM, the company that officially began on Valentine's Day the year Jimmy Carter and Marlon Brando were born in 1924.

Where did today go from there?

Outsource Network Monitoring to Trusted Experts

July 7, 2015

Listening to Douglas Mauro, CEO and founder of TruePath Technologies, whose company is trusted with their network monitoring tools for the Verizons, Vonages, AT&T, makes me realize more than ever that businesses need to outsource as many tasks as they can to the experts in those task areas, so crucial time and effort can be spent on what the business is meant to provide in the first place! Why take care of things like network monitoring in-house? Leave it to the experts.

Alphonso Jackson, who served as the 13th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), once said, "The other part of outsourcing is this: it simply says where the work can be done outside better than it can be done inside, we should do it."

Get the women from your company together with women from other companies, and business development is assured! We prove it at every IP communications event we participate in.

Irv Shapiro and Andy Abramson on Cloud Computing in English and Tagalog

August 9, 2011

Something that happens to me often is the realization that there is something I can do that will help and many of my friends and customers in business at one time. Since I started my new career with Astraqom, one of my favorite projects is business development and marketing for the PinoyKubo, a social network for Filipinos and Filipinas in The Philippines and abroad, but also people who just love the culture and maybe want to learn Tagalog. So ... two young men from Cebu asked me about cloud computing and the first thing I thought of was Andy Abramson talking with Irv Shapiro of IfbyPhone about that topic at an ITEXPO.

Time Warp ... Well, One Hour's Worth

November 7, 2010

Image via Wikipedia

In preparation for international business  teleconferences, as of today November 7, 2010, we will have to ask first; who observes this time saving and who does not? Whereas, we might have been '11 hours apart' in time yesterday; today we are 10 hours apart in 'time.'

Do we need daylight added to afternoon hours? Some Wikipedia contributors state and believe that "the practice has never been criticized."

But it has been criticized.

Verizon Stops Fee to Customers Paying for Service with Credit Cards

October 19, 2010

Bravo, Verizon!

Verizon (NYSE: VZ) apparently realized that if it wants to attract more FiOS subscribers, not to mention keeping its current subscribers happy, it should not charge users $3.50 to pay their bill on line with a credit card.

On its Twitter account, Verizon spokesman Bill Kula says the company is going to "evaluate" the fee.

More at FierceTelecom...

I hope consumers and organizations see more of this from their service providers and vendors. It has always made me cringe when I knew that our company or any other company considers charging its customers for paying them money. I mean ... think about it.







Exercise Ball as Office Chair and DID Testing

October 12, 2010

I was discussing with a friend about different In-Country DID testing services. He recommends Global Telecom Testing.

I remember visiting this industry friend at their HQ about one mile from the Los Angeles airport and was intrigued by his exercise ball as his office chair. I have an exercise ball as my chair that I use sometimes in my office and do a few crunches here and there.
